Leaking fuel tank

[ynot]

Ok, I have taken out the last of the bulkheads and anything that was wet.

I have cut out new false floors and bulkheads.

They are being waterproofed.

The tank is ordered.

I hosed down everything I have worked on.

I am away on holidays for three weeks.

Let everything dry out.

Get home and put it back together.

Interestingly, I found a piece of conduct that runs between two bulkheads broken. A good place for water to het into the bulkheads.

This is a project I am actually enjoying.

Your replacement wood has voids and very large knots. I would consider another material for bulkheads and a sole.

The wood, and all end grains should be wrapped in fiberglass and epoxy resin before installation. Then tabbed in with fiberglass and epoxy.

Latest update.
Everything is out.

I found a bit more wet timber.
The plan now is:

Two weeks holidays.
Let everything dry out out.
The cut outs are waterproofed.
Pick up the tank.

Glass everything back in.
